The Mixto is an amazing tool

Armando Soto, M.D. answers: Is MiXto Laser as good as Fraxel Repair?

I'm a 35-year-old Asian, and I have acne scars and pigmentation all over my face. I'm wondering, is MiXto Laser as good as Fraxel Repair? Or is it better compared to other laser treatments?

The Mixto offers and excellent therapeutic profile- it is highly effective in the improvement if acne scarring, wrinkles, and sun damage/brown spots, with a very short, comfortable recovery period and low risk. The "micro-fractionation" is the key- because the laser spots are smaller than other fractional lasers, the recovery and risk profiles are more favorable, without compromising on the outcome.

For the deepest acne scars, it may be necessary to consider more than one treatment, but even a single treatment usually results in significant improvement.
